Note: This package is not being actively developed or maintained by Astronomer. However, it is still functional. If you would like to contribute to the package, please submit a pull request or email pete@astronomer.io.

If you’re using the Meteor JavaScript app platform and haven’t instrumented your app for user analytics yet, our Meteor Package will instrument for you automatically!

Note: If you are using the package percolatestudio:segment.io, you will need to remove this before installing Astronomer. This packages sets a global analytics object and makes the package unfunctional.

Getting Started wtih MeteorJS

First, open your termal, cd to your app, and add the Astronomer package:

Create a new file called settings.json at the root directory of your Meteor application and paste the above snippet into that file. If you already have a file under this name, simply add the snippet to it.

In your Astronomer UI, find your Source ID and copy it to your clipboard. Paste this value into the appID field in the snippet from step 1.
